| Bob Crump Custom Power Cord Bob is TG Audio-the TG Audio Cords are Bob's, so if you can find a dealer (do a web search-I'm sure something will come up), I'm sure they'll sell you one. Alternatively, you can go to the audioasylum, where Bob is a very active and generous membe... | |
| Bob Crump Custom Power Cord I have two of these cords (well, almost-I'll clarify in a minute) which I made myself. The main component of the cord is Belden 19364 shielded 14 guage cable-the exact recipe calls for a P&S 5266 male end (I've used a Hubbell 5266) and a Schur... | |
| Odd Power Cord--Recommendations? If it is the connection that Garfish describes above, Harmonic Tech makes an adapter with a male iec, allowing any aftermarket cord with female iec to be used. My understanding is that it is available at about half the price of the Vans Evers, and... | |
| Outletts?FIM There has been a fair bit of discussion at Audio Asylum recently on the various Pass and Seymour spec grade outlets. Just replaced one of the Leviton isolated ground receptacles (orange)in my line conditioner with excellent results and plan to do ... | |
| Power cords - a BASIC question While I would agree that power cords seem ridiculously expensive for what you get, I would also suggest that you don't really need to have a megabuck system to get a major improvement out of power cords. I've purchased used/demo cords throught thi... | |
| The Canadians that visit the site London, Ontario between Toronto and Detroit. Kind of an audiophile on a budget but very appreciative of this site and the many friendly and knowledgeable members. | |
| Integrated amp with 2 pair binding posts My Audiolab 8000A has two sets of posts and I would assume (but don't know for sure) that the 8000S probably has as well. Discontinued because Tag McLaren acquired Audiolab, but there still may be some new units available (at half price!) from Art... | |
| DVD PLAYER UPGRADE TIP Sorry, on my post directly above, it would be an in-line MALE iec that you would attach to the stock, allowing connection of any aftermarket cord with a female iec connector, supposedly available from Allied if you want to go that route. | |
| DVD PLAYER UPGRADE TIP To the best of my knowledge, the female two pin end to attach at the DVD player is not available as a stand alone/purchase alone product. I became aware of this product by posting a query at Audioasylum and one of the members posted to let me know... | |
| DVD PLAYER UPGRADE TIP I also use this adapter (also use my DVD player for both video and audio) and highly recommend it. I use a Cardas Golden power cord (which cost almost as much as my DVD player) into the adapter into my player, but was impressed to note that the HT... | |
| I need your help - DVD sound... I have no direct experience, but one of the dealers that I frequent that sells the Pioneer gear has commented to me that the newer (and much less expensive) DV-37 sounds at least as good, if not better than the DV-09. There have also been some ver... | |
| Wanted leads on blues, blues rock folk Looks like you enjoy blues guitarists. Check out Melvin Taylor (latest release "Bang that Bell" on evidence records). Everything from straight ahead Chicago Blues to Blues rock to jazz. Very versatile, technically unbelievable yet very musical. Ve... | |
| dvd vs cd? I guess the answer might just be "maybe". My gut feeling, based on experience, is that in the under $1500 U.S. price range, a DVD player is definitely the way to go, above that I can't really comment. I really wonder how many people are doing "ser... | |
| What to upgrade first? If you are looking at $557 for the NAD, consider a closeout Audiolab 8000S from Artech Electronics (if they have any left) at $549, a discontinued $1100 amp that was very highly thought of at the retail price. I'd be shocked if it wasn't a big imp... | |
| A Tombstone in the Living room???? I have a 3 shelf Target Rack-turntable on the top spiked shelf (on a granite slab on vibrapods), my satellite receiver is on the bottom shelf, and I have to stack my CD player and integrated amp on the middle shelf. Here's how it is on the middle ... |
